Lush flora is set amidst a row of houses, as a woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce on her head in depicted coming down a pathway.
Short and broad painterly brushstrokes that have been applied in a confident manner fill the canvas; and the artist has executed the work in a bold yet muted earthy colour palette.

A calm and serene view of a hidden landscape, rendered in oil.
Fine and soft brushstrokes have been executed so thoughtfully and delicately, complementing the tranquility of this outdoor scene; and painting is very well balanced with equal visual weight between the land and sky areas.
The spaced out houses and trees in the middle ground have clear silhouettes but have been uniquely painted with a ‘misty glaze’ , further imbuing the work with an air of mystery.
This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful wood frame with an inner cream and gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some marks and scuffs (as seen in the photos).

A fantastic miniature still life portrait, executed in oil.
Depicting a middle aged man dressed in a blue coat seated on a chair, the artist has consciously chosen not to represent his facial features. The power of faceless portraits allows one to shift focus to explore more within the frame such as the brushstrokes, colours and composition. In this case, the light and cool colours used as well as the smooth brushstrokes are reflective and well-aligned to the man’s calm and composed nature.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones, that is overall in good condition.

This calm and mellow landscape in oil is reminiscent of the pointillist works by George Seurat, where distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. Although not strictly pointillist, this painting certainly has elements of the technique. Short and distinct strokes that have been created with just the tip of the paint brush have been used to form this composition. However, there is an added complexity – each individual stroke, though small and short, has various colours mixed and blended within the one stroke. Each stroke of paint has been applied thickly, adding a wonderful textural effect and sculptural quality to the painting. The artist has also managed to convey a distinct sense of light and dark within the picture, capturing the shadows of the winter sun within the layered composition.
The painting is housed in a beautiful distressed brown-beige wood frame with a deep profile and an inner linen slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A fantastic mid century modernist oil painting, painted in 1960. Here, geometric forms make up the rural landscape, with planes of contrasting colours creating a sense of space and depth. The artist’s brushstrokes remain distinct and visible, with some areas of the canvas showing through, giving this painting that raw and typically mid century modern feel.
The painting is housed in the original 60s wood frame which suits the painting beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs all the way around, typical for its age, but adds to the charm of the overall painting.

A really unique semi-abstract oil painting of a hare in an autumnal landscape. One could be forgiven for missing the hare on first glance, as it almost blends into the grassy landscape. The artist has managed to convey the reality of catching a fleeting sight of a hare leaping through the grassy meadow – one blink and you’ll miss the little creature. Expressive brushstrokes in earthy colours of orange, rusty browns and reds, and greys and greens form the majority of the picture, with the stunningly painted hare starkly in the middle – its white ears and tail stand out from the background, drawing our attention lest we miss it.
The painting is housed in an simple wood frame, which suits it wonderfully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame appears to have had some restoration work done to upper left and lower left corners, as shown in the photos.

A fantastic 1960s Swedish painting of 3 children, painted in an expressionist style. Layers of paint applied with a palette knife in a quick brisk manner create significant texture. A fairly muted palette of earthy colours have been used, but hints of bright greens, blues and yellow bring forth a three dimensionality to the painting. The composition is in itself unique – 2 children have their heads towards a third child in the forefront, whose side profile can be seen, and all 3 are set within an abstracted background.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a green border and a linen slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs commensurate with its age.

A soothing panoramic seascape rendered in oil, featuring fishermen and their boats on the sea shore. Soft pastel tones and sweeping brushwork echo the water of the sea and the wind poignantly. This simple composition is a pleasure to look at, with its range of blue tones evoking a calming effect.
It is housed in a typically mid century fabric lines frame, with an inner gilt window. It is in good vintage condition, with some very minor craquelure that is commensurate with its age. The paint layer is stable overall.

A relaxing seascape, rendered in oil that radiates calm and serenity. This work of art that has hints of abstract qualities captures a seamless transition of the sand, sea and sky so beautifully; and one can almost hear the soft ocean waves and gentle wind blowing.
Soft and sweeping brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of tranquility; and the way the selection of light pastel colours of yellow, blue and purple interact with one another is simply outstanding.

The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a farm situated in the the middle of a vast snow-covered landscape.
The air is cold and still, trees are barren, and there is not a soul in sight.
The artist has used a restrained palette comprising of shades of grey, white and unique touch of yellow; and together with the use of soft and light brushstrokes, it evokes an overall sense of visual calm and stillness in the painting.

This vividly painted oil features a wonderfully balanced and rhythmic composition, created by the contrast of different shapes and colours.

The painting has a textured matte finish which gives the painting a great tactility.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous mid century frame which has has an outer and inner light brown wood border, as well as an inner section in cream. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

This calming mid 20th century oil on canvas depicts a scene of a Spanish village with a woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce on her head in the foreground.
It is the break of dawn, and the lady has just completed her first round of transporting the freshly harvested crops from the highlands down to village below.
Despite the hardships of her livelihood having to balance a heavy load on her head through rough terrains, her upright posture with her hands on her hips exudes strength and pride, and an impressive sense of balance.
This artwork is painted by Swedish artist Tage Gavik (1914-1981); who has used distinct brushstrokes and contrasting earthy colours to give rise to the various forms in this painting.
In good vintage condition, and comes unframed.

A striking and typically ‘mid century modern’ oil painting on canvas, painted around the 1960s. Bold, rich colours fill the canvas with lines and patterns, both straight and curved. Although an abstracted picture on the whole, we are just able to discern a harbour scene, with a line of boats docked one next to the other. The masts and sails are what form the majority of this composition – the artist has taken advantage the different shapes and patters formed by the masts and sails to create a painting with a largely modernist ethos, focusing on innovation and experimentation with form (the shapes, colours and lines that make up the work) with a tendency to abstraction.
The painting is housed in a gold painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffs to the edges which are typical for its age.

A mid century oil painted in a modernist style onto canvas. Expressive, multidirectional brushstrokes make up this striking composition in a cool toned palette of blues and greens. Standing on higher ground looking out, we see the tops of the houses and trees in the dip of the landscape, before it opens out to the sea. The angular outlines of the houses juxtapose against the free form of the expressive brushwork.
The painting is housed in a silvery frame with red undertones and an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The horizontal length of this painting enhances the panoramic view, transporting our mind away to a bright summer day in the countryside.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous vintage gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some minor scuffs to the edges of the frame which do not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

A large oil on board depicting a modernist take on a winter landscape, painted in 1946. Small and distinct blocks of paint have been applied in a restrained colour palette, creating this semi abstract composition. The artist has successfully and skilfully captured the ‘feel’ of the expansive wintery landscape – there is a palpable sense of the cold, crisp air and the stillness and quiet of the landscape that has been covered in snow.
This large painting is housed in a distressed off while and grey frame which suits the painting impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A very finely executed oil of a waterfront promenade in Stockholm. Painted in an impressionist manner, the artist has used a wonderful palette of cool blues and yellows to render this seascape. In the forefront a figure seats reading the paper – a simple, sensitive detail that sets the entire mood of the painting. An air of calm and tranquillity pervades this painting, created by a combination of the gentle brushwork, the colour palette, as well as the subject matter.
The painting is housed in an light grey wood frame with a tint of gold, and an off white inner wood slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A simple yet effective composition of a potted plant painted in oil onto canvas. The artist has created a wonderfully textured background through areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) adding depth and complexity to the painting. The plant has been painted in varying shades of green and blue, with bold black outlines that make it stand out from the light background and the ice blue and grey pot.
The painting is housed in gold painted wood frame, which illuminates the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Featuring the endless ocean and sky, as well as a coastal cliff full of lush greenery, this work explores not only the beauty of nature, and also of colour, line and emotion.
With a vibrant colour palette comprising shades of blue, green and tan, together with the swift and sweeping brushstrokes that have been so confidently executed, the artist has used the expressive possibilities of colour and line to convey the sublime experience in nature.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary vintage gilt frame with an inner white border. The frame has some marks and scuffs, which do not detract from the overall charm of the painting.

A fantastic semi-abstract modernist oil painted onto canvas. We see here a black silhouette of a figure, set against an abstracted background. The artist has played with shape, form and colour, juxtaposing the rounded curves of the dark figure with the more formal geometric angles of the lighter background. The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.
This striking painting is in fine vintage condition. There are some areas of paint loss and craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. It is housed in a mid century cream frame with an inner fabric lined border, that has some marks and scuffs.

A very large and elegant seascape in oil, painted onto canvas. A warm, golden hue blankets this oil painting, imbuing it with a palpably calming, soothing effect. This skilfully executed seascape features a soft colour palette, which when viewed closely reveals a complexity in its colour blending. The artist has captured the light of the evening sun, when the sky boasts pastel hues of pink, orange, yellow and blue. Below this large expansive sky, we see a boat docked by 3 warehouses that echo the colours of the subtle evening light. The large size of the painting accentuates the panoramic effect of the seascape and would make for a wonderful resting point for tired eyes.
The painting is housed in an equally elegant large gilt frame which illuminates the painting further. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A visually striking abstract oil painting, executed in 1968.
The artwork is composed of different blocks of colours painted in a restrained palette of blue, grey, black and yellow.

Depicting just their silhouettes, the women resemble one another in the way they look and are dressed; and the work sparks viewer’s imagination, evoking a sense of mystery.

Confident, expressionist brushstrokes in saturated colours and bold outlines depict this pensive picture of two figures standing at a railway crossing. We witness here an artist seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, mustard and white, while skilfully combining these extremes without losing harmony within the picture. Within this almost ‘dirty’ palette, the artist and his energy comes through wonderfully.
The painting is housed in a distressed silver-grey wood frame with a deep profile, complementing the painting perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor areas of paint loss around the edges (as shown in photos) but because it is of a ‘distressed’ style these imperfections certainly do not harm the overall look of the framed picture.

A modernist take on a city landscape featuring flat planes of colour and distinct outlines. Geometric shapes and forms in contrasting colour create depth, while retaining a tendency to abstraction. A combination of a pastel palette, a focus on form, and a matte surface texture in thin layers of oil emphasise a focus on materials, techniques and processes. The subject matter too is very much a modernist one, with a focus on modern industrial life, which at the time of this painting being painted would have been a new and innovative concept.
This oil painting is housed in a robust distressed gilt frame with a white inner border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A wonderful set of 6 military officers and infantrymen delicately painted in watercolour. Painted in the early 1900s, these delicate vintage portraits in matching frames would make a real statement if displayed as a group in an interior setting.
Each watercolour portrait is housed in a thin black frame with gilt outlines. They have some age toning but this is typical for pictures of this age, and if anything add to their vintage charm.

A beautifully gentle woodland landscape scene, painted in oil onto canvas. Tall slender trees in contrasting shades of dark green and amber make up the main composition, yet the artist has made sure not to overcrowd the picture. A soft light falls washes over the painting, creating a warmth that seems to emanate from it. The spaces between the slender trees allow us to see both into the distance, as well as down to the forest floor, where the artist has used an array of colours in a cooler palette to convey a sense of depth. Working in short, soft brushstrokes, the artist has created both areas of flatter well blended colour as well as areas of textured impasto (where the paint is thick enough to stand proud from the surface).
The painting is housed in a light cream and grey wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A fantastic life drawing in oil, painted on canvas which has then been laid down to board. The artist has managed to capture the complexity of the human body, while keeping to the impressionist style. The curves, lines, and subtle undulations of the female model, as well as her weight, balance and tension have been conveyed through the use of brush and colour.
This well balanced, vertical composition has been framed beautifully in a silver wood frame. There is some very light craquelure to the figure’s upper torso, but the paint layer is very stable overall. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
